  • Options for Remoting (continued):
    • Java Messaging Service (JMS)
      • Used with SMW option tree
      Pros:
      Standard, open source technology
      Cons:
      Does not handle real-time streams
      Relatively new to Midas
    • XML Remote Procedure Calls (XMLRPC)
      • Cross-language remote procedure calls
      Pros:
      Standard, open source technology
      Cons:
      Seems to have fallen out of favor with advent of JMS
    • Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI)
      Pros:
      Comes with Java.
      Cons:
      Java only!
      Seems to have fallen out of favor with advent of JMS
